Cynthia Erivo - What In The World Lyrics

I wake up and look at my phone
I poison my mind
I know I should leave it alone
Somehow I can't fight it
Letting the world that I know
Come down on my shoulders
And I die inside

When we live
Do we learn?
As the earth
Oh, it turns
Oh, my heart
It burns

What in the world have we been doing?
Why in the world are we so cruel and
What in the world are we gonna do when
The world falls away, and there's nothing left?
What in the world have we been doing?
Why in the world are we so cruel and
What in the world are we gonna do when
The world falls away, and there's nothing left?

I sit on the floor in the room
Not sure what to do
A hopeless admission of truth
Is well overdue
We're killing the world and our youth
And shameless in choosing
Oh my heart, it yearns (oh)

When we live (oh)
Can we learn?
As the earth
Oh, it turns (oh)
Oh, my heart
It burns

What in the world have we been doing?
Why in the world are we so cruel and
What in the world are we gonna do when
The world falls away, and there's nothing left?
What in the world have we been doing?
Why in the world are we so cruel and
What in the world are we gonna do when
The world falls away, and there's nothing left?

What in the world have we been doing?
Why in the world are we so cruel and
What in the world are we gonna do when
The world falls away, and there's nothing left? (Oh)

Oh
Oh
Oh

What are we gonna do
When the world falls away?
When it all disappears?
When it's all gone, gone?
